One of the first things I noticed about this episode was Carey’s odd behavior! I wasn’t sure if he was high on something, because there were no scenes of him using. The big story was Jason Trucker being accused of killing Lisa, who watches his kids. I didn’t understand what the big deal was about him being held for 48 hours, or why Alicia and Carey had to be by his side the whole time. I think that should have been explained. Maybe they thought the police would take advantage of Jason if he didn’t have counsel present. I loved how more then one person was looking guilty for this murder, especially the security guard. He looked suspicious and I think the story should have explored that more. There was no answer to his questionable behavior. I loved how there was one twist after another. A lot of predictions were made to help move the story along and make it more interesting. I think the writers should have given more closure to this story. It was obvious the guy at Lisa’s dorm killed her, but I would have liked to see the consequences. At least there should have been a scene where he gets arrested.
Peter’s appeal was interesting because of Colinda’s testimony. I could tell Childs was trying to make Peter out to be a sex crazed maniac. I didn’t understand at first what client 12 meant, but then I looked at the judge, who was squirming, and I had my answer. He was client 12 and involved with the call girls. I have to wonder if Colinda had an affair with Peter, because she warned Alicia to stay away from the court house. If there had been a different judge, who wasn’t involved with call girls, would Peter have gotten a new trial? My gut is telling me Peter isn’t squeaky clean, which leads me to my next question. Why is Alicia letting Peter back into their home after everything he has done? The ending was great, I really liked the cliff hanger. I was wondering why the episode was called “hi,” but now I get it. Alicia opens the door and there is Peter, saying “hi.” I can’t wait to see how Peter coming home plays out. It is obvious that Alicia has very mixed feelings about it.
